Pancreas on MRI provides detailed images of the pancreas and surrounding structures. MRI sequences like T1, T2, DWI, and MRCP allow visualization of the pancreas’s anatomy, ducts, and surrounding structures. The pancreas’s proximity to the duodenum, common bile duct, portal vein, splenic vein, hepatic arteries, and mesenteric vessels determines its interactions and clinical implications. MRI aids in diagnosing congenital abnormalities (pancreas divisum, annular pancreas), inflammatory conditions (pancreatitis, pseudocysts), and neoplastic conditions (neuroendocrine tumors, IPMNs, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma).
